My Intro....

Pages

After a good, long run, we have decided to close our forums in an effort to refocus attention to other sections of the site. Fortunately for you all, we're living in a time where discussion of a favorite topic now has a lot of homes. So we encourage you all to bring your ravenous love for discussion to Chuck's official Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. And, as always, you can still post comments on all News updates. Thank you for your loyalty and passion over the years. These changes will happen June 1.

Hello cult! Just thought I should introduce myself since I've been lurking here for a while just thought that I should sign up and add my thoughts to the discussions here. In all honesty I am not much of a reader but that doesn't mean i don't enjoy a good book. I have read most of Chuck's work and enjoy reading his books. That doesn't mean that is all I read though. So, yeah that's a bit about me.

I was never much of a reader either before this place. You should check out some of the book club discussions and there's a few threads with book recommendations to start your new reading quest.

By fish are you including seafood in that? Because although, fish is found in Chinese food, not all of it is fish based. Chinese food does deal with a good amount of seafood, though. I was just curious.

Yeah I was. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Chinese food is sushi but yeah I don't hate all Chinese food. I mean I love the noodles and the chicken.

Also, I never eat Taco Bell. It's not a matter of disliking it, I just never buy fast Mexican food. Never tried it and don't really have an desire to. Except for Jack in the Box tacos. And those don't really count, I don't think. I mean, they're like breakfast burritos. They don't even pretend to try.

Nobody orders Chinese food and gets fish. I like fortune cookies. One time there was an extra fortune cookie and nobody knew what to do with it. It wasn't anyone's fortune so we knew it wouldn't come true and nobody eats the cookie for the cookie. The cookie is like a punishment you have to eat or your fortune won't come true. Chicken, though. Chicken and rice, chicken chow mein. Chicken balls.

I never bother with the fortune cookies, usually. The one time I was recently going to eat one, the wrapper was empty. Completely sealed, but cookieless. I should've taken that as a warning back then. Now when I get cookies I give them to the dog. His fortune isn't much better.

You can kind of educatedly guess... but do they not have half Dutch half German kids?

It's easier to tell by the way someone dresses. And talks, obviously. But if we're just judging by appearance... you can pretty much tell a Mexican guy who lives in the US from a Mexican guy who lives in Mexico. And most countries have their own weird fashion quirks at any given time.

White people all look the same. Can you honestly tell an American from an Englishman from a Canadian? I can't.

They certainly do not. You can't tell an American from an Englishman?!

Norwegians don't look like the Dutch, who don't look like the Germans, who don't look like the English, etc etc.

I think it's probably much harder in the states because most people are not really "just german" or "just norwegian". You're more likely to find people who come from families that have lived in Germany or Norway for a long time than you are to find that in America. And even if you do, they came from those countries. That's just me though.

Of course, I realize that. But yeah, not being able to see the differences doesn't mean there are no differences. :P

Hattie, that was great, ahaha.

Since my original post, I've wondered if Mike was just being silly, in which case I completely missed the point and seem like a twat. n_n

You have way more credibility than I (I've only travelled throughout the US and into Canada) but--this is going to sound terrible--I've seen overweight people in European movies, television, and other limited media. I'm guessing they're there. Not as prevalent as in the US but they had to have come from somewhere. But, again, all I have is conjecture while you actually know what you're talking about.
